Skepta Unveils ‘Jangrova’ Single: A Taste of the Upcoming ‘Knife and Fork’ Project?

I know you’re well aware of Skepta’s prowess — his achievements have been chronicled before, ensuring that everyone is well aware of his greatness. And unlike so many veteran artists whose fingers merely graze the hem of greatness’s robe before they start to lose their touch, Skepta’s music finesse has only evolved as well as he has aged; like fine wine.

Over the years, he has blessed us with numerous musical projects, the latest being “48 Hours,” a collaborative Extended Playlist with Ryder in 2023. And it is clear, he is not stopping or slowing down any time soon.

At the onset of 2024, Skepta let a big cat out of the bag; his upcoming project “Knife and Fork” is set to grace our ears later this year (2024) and to ease our anticipation, he treated us to a smoking banger titled ‘Jangrova.’ Skepta, true to form, not only delivered flawlessly but also enlisted one of the hottest sensations in Nigerian music in 2023, Odumodu Blvck, and surprise guest Idris Elba. Yes, you read that right; IDRIS ELBA. While he is known by many for his legendary acting in some of the best movies of the last decade, Elba is also a musician with fiery vibes and rap lines that hit hard and fast.

The artful blend of local Naija lingo ‘Jangrova’ with feisty British rap, topped off with a generous scoop of Odumodu ginger, is a dish you didn’t know you craved but will undoubtedly relish. Go ahead, it’s best served hot.
